One of the Martian moons travels between the rover and the sun. It’s a bit different to my usual posts, and not my OC :).
I believe it’s Phobos, so there might be doom music kicking in any second now…
That’s a very curious shape for a moon.
It’s technically just a random rock plucked from the asteroid belt. It’s just not big enough to crush itself into a neat ball with gravity, like with planets or our Moon
That’s why I like the picture. Technically just a random rock, just like earth. :)
That means someone at NASA made an effort to search for eclipse events on Mars visible by Perseverance and put the right wheels inside the organisation in motion so that they made the rover make a photo of the sun (and deimos). Nice.
broke as hell martians can’t even afford a full eclipse 🌚
